HYDE

Chiisa na niwa he to
Kabe wo tobikoe
Tori-tachi ga yorisotte
Sono utagoe wo kikasu

Iki wo hisomete
Soto wo mitsumeru
Omoi ni wa hane ga aru
Kono heya kara ano sora he

Hanayagu machinami
Mabushii hiroba he
Kokoro wa habataku

Yurusarenu mama
Todaeta seijaku
Kakitameta ate no nai
Kono tegami wo oite iku yo

Doko made tooku he
Hanarete ikou to
Kokoro wa ubaenai

Kyou wa ressha ni yurare
Sariyuku toki wo mite ita

Haruka na aozora
Haruka na anata wo
Kokoro wa wasurenai

I remember, remember you
I remember, still close to you
No need to fear the distance here
